Family Reports Strange Lights Over Carolina Coast
Video of lights over Atlantic Ocean near the Carolina coast
LEXINGTON, N.C. - Sept. 11, 2007 – Was it a meteor, the military or a UFO? A Lexington family is trying to figure out the origin of an unusual light they saw near North Myrtle Beach, S.C. last week.
"It looked like a car light up in the sky," said Tracy House. "It was yellow."
The family first noticed the light September 5 over the Atlantic Ocean.
Josh house and his sister, Tracy called the Coast Guard, thinking someone was stranded... and ran to the water's edge.
The coast guard says it was probably a meteor shower
Even grandfather Buzzy House, the family skeptic, doesn't buy that explanation.
"I don't believe in flying saucers and ghosts and stuff like this," said Buzzy. "I still don't. But I did see the lights."
North Myrtle Beach police told the family the lights were likely caused by jets from Shaw Air Force Base in Sumter, S.C., performing military maneuvers.
According to the North Carolina president of MUFON, the Mutual UFO Network, it could have been something more "interplanetary."
"There is a marked increase in sightings and personally, in my opinion only, I think we're getting ready for some event," said Jim Sutton, MUFON North Carolina president.
"Whether it be UFO's or military, either way, it's interesting to me as to why, who, and what's the whole purpose behind it," said Josh House.

We saw the lights at 8:30 pm 1 mile north of the Apache Pier in Myrtle Beach. Five of us witnessed them. I am a commercial pilot with over 6000 flight hours. This was not anything built by our species. If you saw it too, email me. loyalpatriot1@gmail.com
I saw these strange lights, too, that week. I was about one block north of the Apache Pier on an 11th floor balcony. The lights looked similar to what I imagine a safety flare might look like, but the thing is, they had no trajectory. The lights were stationary. They appeared (in a fade-in sort of way) and then faded out again.
The night was clear and I couldn't see a ship. And if they were attached to a ship, they'd have to be very, very high, and the ship would have to be practically on the beach for the lights to appear as large as they did. They didn't look like ship lights.
I tell you, these lights were absolutely unmoving. I think that's what made the whole thing even eerier.
Anyway, it was a special treat to see a UFO while on vacation at Myrtle Beach!
